Sam. You have a massively punchable face.

Amazingly, I've managed to get away with that for 26 years, which is some kind of miracle in itself.

Mods, please ban this poster.

Don't worry. You can still get your scoops here  ;)

26?! And the fucking rest.

Do you need my birth certificate?

Yes and your email address, home address and bank account details please. Then we can forward on to you the $200m in unclaimed funds waiting for you in our Nigerian bank account.

I bet the smug fucker thinks this will make his career as a journalist and all the nationals will be picking up on this young tearaway making waves.

I bet the smug fucker doesn't realise nobody beyond the SN district gives a monkeys either.

Irony transplant for Mr Russell please!

Yeah but I'm actually the bollocks

Or you talk it?

One of the two.

Probably.

Right region of the body, but you picked the wrong bit.

You are a knob.

:D 1-0 DMR

Wheeeeeeeey footballladsbanter

Your mouth must have gotten you a good few kickings.

Who?

His majesty DMR.

He'll suck his way onto the Guardian staff.

Mmm, making friends and influencing people DMR.

love the fucking guardian

But the ladies seem to like him  :)

So sad. So glum.

Waiting for the burger van to turn up more like.

Ha, I was going to do the Doge thing but not everybody is down with the internet memes.

wow

Great photoshopping. For a moment there I thought that somebody had actually transplanted a dog's head onto Morshead's body.

I thought this was the only place on the internet I could escape doge

For me the Doge, was the leader of the historic  and powerful state of Venice....perhaps the most notorious, being the 13th Century Enrico Dandalo, who at the age of 90 and blind led the 4th Crusade on a mission to reclaim Jerusalem from the Musulmen for Christianity....problem was they ran out of dosh, and decided to sack Christian Byzantine instead to fund the operation..thus driving a wedge ever since between eastern and western Christianity, and in time allowing the occupation of the Balkans by the Ottomans.

such sad. wow.

Sam, can you still attend as a paying supporter?

As he is currently online ...

It would nice to get Mr Murrells opinion on this ban.  Hello Mr Murrell Sir  :bye:

Seems from the article and statements that he's just been banned from the press conferences, not from attending games i.e. has had press privileges withdrawn.

Yes, he said he'd be paying to watch. Look out for tubby bloke frantically typing into his iPad.

It probably wouldn't include a stadium  tour.  :)

I have been told I can. Arkell's or Don Rogers is the question. Whichever has shortest kiosk queues I imagine.

With a coat borrowed from Stuart Hall  ;D

Its all handbags IMO. Sam has done nothing wrong.

Get in the TE and slum it with the rest of us
No bar though but I would imagine that slows down the pie eating

Town End you fucking fanny. I'm in m60, come sing stupid songs with us.

Fuck photoshop man, microsoft paint all the way.

Sam if you want to use that in an edition of the adver my fees are very reasonable.

Thanks for the invitation, if I can call it that. Trouble is I need the birds eye view to write a report, seeing as it will have to fill five pages on the Monday.

It looks like the club don't like the relationship between fans and Sam to me. I may be wrong but I think the talking openly about issues STFC on twitter-forums that Sam does won't be looked upon favourably from within the club.
Petty? Yes, but they can ban who they like.
I think they will change the current decision but will demand certain conditions to lift the ban.

Venice could have been one of the most powerful nations on the planet if it had played its cards right.

It didn't and fucked up east/west relations forever since.

Maybe the fact you described his face as "punchable" a few days ago might make him reluctant to take you up on this?

History tells us that the power of states and empires ebbs and flows, and nothing lasts forever. I suspect the immediate future is going to about the rise of the eastern economies, and then power struggles that will be unleashed, notably between China and Japan.

There are a fair few birds in the TE. Help yourself !!!!

Do we still shoot the pigeons, like in Six Days til Saturday?

Fixed

Could be...the Korean War of the 50's still hasn't been resolved...

If you come on the pre match piss up with me, Jutty and Victor Mildew, you wont be able to see the Stratton Bank anyway......always pray to kick towards the TE second half.

Would like to have a go on The Flash's famous guess the gate sweep?

Yes Johnny boy!

Notably, I didn't say I would actually punch him. I'm a massive pussy.

Wouldn't a view from the soul of The County Ground offer a unique view for your loyal following Sam? Would be nice to do a  feature on the Town End somewhere across the 5 pages?

You can't miss Jayo, he looks like a short unkempt Jarvis Cocker.

Yeah. Or Catweazel (Google him kids).

Sam, Get a seat next to the press box, if they don't  change the wifi password then you're sorted  :)

Or just stand in front of the plastic, eyes gazing longlingly inside like a little orphan boy on christmas as BBC Wiltshire point and laugh at you and drink sherry.

Ha ha and gloatingly wave canapés at you :)

Or if you are Roy Keane its prawn sandwiches.

Now that I'd pay money for.

I can only assume these opinions are based in jealousy. One day you'll both be able to grow a beard as mighty as mine. One day.

I hear Sam has offered to be co-commentator on Sat for BBC RS so he can get to sit in the press box

:D

Amazed this hasn't been rectified yet. Perhaps Power is determined to hold out for one home game at least.
